Turning Wood Into Art: The Jane and Arthur Mason Collection
Jan 17 - Apr 4 2010
The Museum of Texas Tech University is pleased to announce the exhibition Turning Wood Into Art: The Jane and Arthur Mason Collection, opening Sunday, January 17, and continuing through April 4, in Galleries 6 & 7, located at 3301 4th Street (SE corner of 4th Street and Indiana Avenue), where admission and parking are free.
Turning Wood Into Art showcases 65 objects from the Mint Museum of Craft + Design’s Jane and Arthur Mason Collection, one of the world’s foremost collections of contemporary lathe-turned wood. Turned-wood objects embody an exciting combination of the natural and the manmade. The “conversation” between an artist and the wood on the lathe is a balancing act between precise control and the forces of chance—a partnership of hand, machine, mind, and matter. The appeal of a turned-wood piece reflects a combination of the wood’s inherent beauty and texture, and the turner’s mastery of technique, concept, and form.
The unusual quality of the Mason Collection offers insight into the creative growth of the artist across his or her career, as well as revealing much about the collectors of such works. Washingtonians Jane and Arthur Mason have dedicated a significant portion of their life together to assembling this collection. They have formed numerous personal friendships with artists along the way further informing their appreciation for the craft.
Turning Wood into Art focuses on five objectives specific to the medium of wood: Material Aesthetics, Process and Image, Storytelling, Design, and Tree Life. These areas shed light on the versatility of this medium specifically, and the many ways and conditions through which works of art in craft media generally can possess value and meaning.
The exhibition features the work of 40 artists from around the world, including Stephen Hogbin, Po Shun Leong, and Hans Weissflög. The collection encompasses the work of the 1960s with influential artists such as James Prestini, Bob Stocksdale, Rude Osolnik, Ed Moulthrop, and Mel Lindquist, as well as the next major group of turners to emerge: David Ellsworth, Mark Lindquist, and others who helped in shaping the international field of woodturning.
The exhibition is curated by Mark Richard Leach, Founding Director and Chief Curator of the Mint Museum of Craft + Design. The exhibition is courtesy of the Mint Museum of Craft + Design, Charlotte, NC. Tour Management by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, Kansas City, MO.
To request special assistance, contact the Museum Education office at museum.education@ttu.edu, or call 806.742.2432. Admission and parking are free.

Prehistoric Beasts!
Mar 5 - Jun 5 2010
Only after the extinction of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, could mammals and other strange creatures radiate to fill all of the empty ecological space that had been vacated. Prehistoric Beasts! the exhibit displays a vast array of these wonderful and weird creatures that lived from 10,000 years ago to 55 million years ago.
The Eocene diorama (around 50 million years ago) includes the terror bird, Diatryma. During the Eocene, the grasslands of North America were inhabited by this flightless bird over 7’ tall. It had massive limbs with three toes, a great skull measuring 18" and a powerful hooked beak. This terror bird represented a great danger to small mammals. During this same time the incredibly bizarre Uinta Beast, Uintatherium, similar to a large three horned rhino with a knobby head, was also roaming North America. A host of small strange, prehistoric mammals are also depicted in this diorama.
The Miocene diorama (around 20 million years ago) features a pair of nasty pig-like beasts, Archaeotherium. Other prehistoric creatures such as camels, and Synthetoceras with its “sling-shot” shaped antlers and huge rodents with horns also lived during the Miocene epoch.
As the Ice Ages approached (around 2 million years ago) temperatures around the world decreased dramatically. Several dioramas are set during this time, and up until about 10,000 years ago,
perhaps the most well-known Ice Age symbol is the Woolly Mammoth. A nearly complete skeleton of a Woolly Mammoth, named the Hebior Mammoth is the largest creature in the Prehistoric Beasts! exhibit. The original bones, when found in Wisconsin, had been laid neatly in large stacks by the Paleo-Indians.
A Woolly Rhinoceros skeleton is a highlight of this exhibit. This authentic complete skeleton of Coelodonta antiquitatis is the only authentic traveling specimen in the world. He sports an impressive 42" nose horn and is about 100,000 years old.
The bear diorama compares an authentic cave bear skeleton to a fleshed-out modern Kodiak bear. Ursus spelaeus, the Russian cave bear, is depicted emerging from his cave. This skeleton stands over 8’ tall and is all authentic bone.
The giant, prehistoric ground sloth fossils from the Rancho La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles are excellent specimens. The Glossotherium in this exhibit is a direct casting from one of the finest specimens ever found. The slow-moving, heavily armored, tank-like giant armadillo, Glyptodont, and the Smilodon saber-toothed cat also lived at this same time. A life-like snow scene includes some recognizable modern looking animals that lived during the ice age. The musk ox, arctic fox, the bison and a saber cat are teamed up in this diorama.
The unbelievably gigantic Castoroides Ohioensis, a prehistoric beaver measuring about 9 feet long, defends itself against attacking dire wolves in this one-of-a-kind interactive diorama. Visitors will be able to control the movements of various parts of these creatures at a push-button panel.
Visitors can view a DVD about Prehistoric Beasts at the Information Station. Here they will also learn more about the terror birds, monster mammals and various tools that both prehistoric and modern animals use to gather food and defend themselves.
Several activities will keep families “edu-tained”. Children will have a blast in the “stone age” car as they use their feet to make the front, stone wheel turn. Yabba-dabba-doo! Families with children of all ages will be able to uncover fossil bones of prehistoric beasts in the Mammoth Dig Site. Or they can try to guess nine different creature’s names by looking at their skulls at the Spinner Station.
Dozens of other weird and wonderful creatures, both fleshed out and in skeleton as well as many authentic bones, teeth, fossils and additional hands-on activity stations make up this unique traveling exhibit from PaleoFun, Inc. based in Cocoa Beach, Florida. For additional exhibit information go to

"Always Patsy Cline"

Arabia
Mar 23 - May 31 2010
Experience an extraordinary culture, the history and humanity, as well as the exotic mystique of: Arabia at the Science Spectrum OMNI Theater. A land steeped in mystery and myth is revealed in this extremely thought-provoking film adventure. In the film unfolds the story of an extreme desert environment that, through its people’s thirst for knowledge, the riches of global trade and a deep devotion to faith, has become one of the most powerful, yet least understood, regions on earth today.
This kaleidoscopic portrait of Arabia delves into the storied past and oncoming future through a mix of contemporary images of modern-day life, epic historical recreations of ancient civilizations, and visual effects that together will have theater-goers riding the dunes with a camel caravan, diving into the treasure-laden Red Sea, exploring the ruins of a towering lost city, hurtling back into the Islamic golden age of invention, joining three million Muslims on the Hajj pilgrimage, and getting to know the young Arabians transforming tomorrow’s world. The result is a surprising and illuminating journey that not only unveils an oft-hidden world full of discovery -- but also serves as a bridge between two cultures that have long misunderstood one another.
For most people, ARABIA will be a first chance to experience life in a part of the world usually glimpsed only in news clips. "The story spans 2,000 years of Arabian history but is told by three vibrant, modern-day Arabian citizens, each invested in learning more about their history and culture. Filmgoers will traverse through Arabian history as the film delves into an enlightened age of Arabia, the Islamic Golden Age, which began in the Middles Ages after the founding of the Islamic religion. Advanced CGI allows the audience to time-travel back to an extraordinary period when a vast Islamic empire made mathematical, medical, engineering and philosophical discoveries that rocked the world and paved the way for modern science and technology.
For a glimpse into current times, the writer Nimah Nawab takes up the narration, as she makes a deeply personal pilgrimage to the Hajj, one of the most spiritually-charged events on the planet, when three million Muslim pilgrims make their way to the holy city of Makkah (Mecca) to reaffirm their faith. This profound experience of human communion, rarely seen by outsiders, is witnessed in all its emotions and stark humanity by the IMAX cameras. As the unforgettable journey of ARABIA comes to a close, a question lingers: is Arabia now in the midst of another prosperous period of transformation, a third golden age? While the future remains unwritten, the film leaves the audience with much to ponder about how the desert carved the Arabian soul – and how Arabian souls are reconciling with the modern world.For additional film information, go to www.arabia-film.com.
OMNI Theater general admission ticket rates: $8.00 Adults; $6.50 Children (ages 3-12); $6.50 Seniors (60+)

For a glimpse into current times, the writer Nimah Nawab takes up the narration, as she makes a deeply personal pilgrimage to the Hajj, one of the most spiritually-charged events on the planet, when three million Muslim pilgrims make their way to the holy city of Makkah (Mecca) to reaffirm their faith. This profound experience of human communion, rarely seen by outsiders, is witnessed in all its emotions and stark humanity by the IMAX cameras. As the unforgettable journey of ARABIA comes to a close, a question lingers: is Arabia now in the midst of another prosperous period of transformation, a third golden age? While the future remains unwritten, the film leaves the audience with much to ponder about how the desert carved the Arabian soul – and how Arabian souls are reconciling with the modern world.For additional film information, go to www.arabia-film.com.
